Breaking News: A New Era for 'CBS Saturday Morning'!
A Fresh Duo Takes the Reins
In a bold move, CBS News has appointed veteran anchor Adriana Diaz and business journalist Kelly O'Grady as the new co-hosts of 'CBS Saturday Morning.' This dynamic duo is set to bring a fresh perspective to the weekend program, starting officially this week.
The previous co-hosts, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson, bid farewell in October due to company-wide staff reductions. Interestingly, these changes were already in motion before Bari Weiss stepped into her role as editor-in-chief of CBS News.
Controversy and Revamps
But here's where it gets controversial: Bari Weiss has faced criticism and negative publicity for her last-minute decision to pull a '60 Minutes' story on the Trump administration's treatment of Venezuelan migrants. And this is the part most people miss - Weiss's decision sparked a debate about political influence in journalism.
Additionally, the revamp of 'CBS Evening News' with new anchor Tony Dokoupil has left critics divided. Will the new co-hosts bring a breath of fresh air to CBS News?
A Dual Role for the New Co-Hosts
Adriana Diaz and Kelly O'Grady will not only co-host 'CBS Saturday Morning' but also take turns as co-hosts of 'CBS Mornings 24/7,' the daily program on the CBS News streaming platform. They will join featured host Vladimir Duthiers, adding their expertise to the platform.
Diaz, a CBS News veteran since 2012, has covered Asia from China and later reported from Chicago. Her anchor roles include 'CBS Mornings Plus' and 'CBS Weekend News.' Internally, she is seen as a potential successor to Gayle King, who is in her final year of contract with CBS News.
O'Grady, a recent addition to CBS, brings her expertise in business and economics from her time at Fox Business. She will continue to cover these beats for the network while taking on her new co-hosting duties.
A New Chapter for CBS News
